Aero Evo

Posted by
Michael Habib

Greetings everyone! Just a quick note that on April 4th I launched a new blog, called Aero Evo.

I will still be posting here to H2VP, of course. Aero Evo fulfills a different sort of niche. First and foremost, I will be specifically discussing animal flight - particularly the evolution of flight (as opposed to all manner of biomech topics here at H2VP).

The format is also going to be different from H2VP. I have designed this blog to be a rapid-fire, regularly updated feed. I expect to post something almost every day (holidays and such excepted, of course). Posts will typically be short - when I have something more lengthy to say, I will link over to H2VP or Pterosaur.net. In this way, it falls within the realm of so-called "micro-blogging", though not as extreme as things like Twitter (I also have a Twitter account, incidentally, called aeroevo).

About this Blog

This blog is dedicated to discussions and news related to vertebrate paleontology, particularly animals from the Mesozoic (dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and others). This blog is the work of two paleontologists from U.S. West Coast: it is the work of Justin Hall and Michael Habib, both at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

All opinions on this site reflect the views of their author only and do not reflect the viewpoint of the universities and museums the author may work for, or with.
